My dad sent me this email & photo with the warning, "You'll think this is funny."

...You may even piss your pants. Thought I was being smart and had found a way to refill the ink cartridges for the RX520 (can all ready do the C82). Took one cartridge apart and found that if you drill a hole in a certain place, you could force ink in. This is the result of my first attempt.

Interesting splatter pattern...

He SAYS it's ink...

poetinahat · Mar 29, 2007

Full marks to him for having a go! Maybe, though, keep him away from the first-aid kit.

scarletpeaches · Mar 29, 2007

He's diabetic and needs to give himself blood tests...

...could there be a connection?

TsukiRyoko · Mar 29, 2007

Looks likes my house after a party....

Akuma · Mar 29, 2007

Reminds me of a horror movie or something.

"The Night of the Living Menstrual Cycle!!!"
Mwuahahahahahahaa!

My god, that DOES sound scary....

Dude, my dad's a MAN! He doesn't menstruate!

A friend of mine spotted the skull photo on the wall though, which tickled me.

It's a frosted gravestone he spotted while walking through a cemetary, and he always carries his camera with him, so...

To think, we're not blood (bo!) related - he's my stepdad - but clearly, being a mentalist runs in the family.

How did the second attempt pan out:

scarletpeaches · Mar 29, 2007

I daren't ask.

Pagey's_Girl · Mar 29, 2007

Ooops - I - uh - meant to do that...

I wanna know who died. Don't believe the ink story, for a second. Bunk, I say.

PattiTheWicked · Mar 30, 2007

Well, maybe it was time to slap a fresh coat of paint on the walls anyway.

Haggis · Mar 30, 2007

Um, have you heard from your mother lately?

Bmwhtly · Mar 30, 2007

I wonder how many CSI-fans looked at the pic and thought "High-velocity spatter" to themselves...
Yes, I'm a nerd

MidnightMuse · Mar 30, 2007

I thought "medium velocity" myself

aadams73 · Mar 30, 2007

Where's Dexter when you need him?

writerterri · Mar 30, 2007

Oh, my. He should have used a steak knife. Drills never work right on those.

CBeasy · Mar 30, 2007

If there wasn't an ocean between us, I'd say your stepdad must be related to me. I thought only people in my family did stuff like that!

C.bronco · Mar 30, 2007

Have you considered taking away his power tools?
It kind of reminds me when my Dad put a whole egg in the microwave. Similar results, but in white.

scarletpeaches · Mar 30, 2007

This is the guy who microwaved his tee-shirt to dry it.

It came out looking like a string vest.

So did I. But if you look at the height it reached, and the size of the drops (given that they ran); I'd say High-Velocity. And not just because saying "high velocity spatter feels good to say.
